Before surgery I was obsessed with chips, now I can't have them because what would be the point of having this major surgery??? But do you guys have anything good I can try out??

Sometimes a few hours before diner I have 3 low fat wheat thins. I just get really hungry at around 3pm and we have diner at 530 so I need a lil something to help me out.

my favorite for a "crunchy" snack (not right now though, but I did these before my surgery 7/23) is to take a saucer, spray it with PAM, put a piece of cheese on it and NUKE it in the microwave for a minute. Then take it out, let it cool a few seconds and whalah, a crunchy cheesy snack!

cheese. There are lots of different cheeses. I keep tasting new ones and either add them to my list of foods I love or vow to never again eat the ones I don't like. I don't use crackers or anything else to put them on, just cheese.

you can NUKE Turkey Pepperoni's too, just place them on a paper towel instead! YUM, good Protein snack.

I like cheese Snacks. For crunchy stuff, I tried the Protein chips that you can get online. Each package has about 10 grams of Protein. The taste isn't great, but it takes care of the crunch craving.

I also like nuts although not a lot of them. Almonds are good.

I'm not very into nutrition, i just know briefly what's good enough to have, and what's not.

So far, i've snacked on diabetic digestive biscuits, or my all time favorite, unsalted baked almonds, or boiled edamame Beans, or gabanzo beans.. etc

I heard the Beans give you lots of gas, but i don't have problems with them, and they fill me up quickly.

Also, high Calcium milk half a mug at night before i sleep, keeps me sleeping, otherwise, i might wake up in the middle of the night HUNGRY! :)

If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know. so far i'm losing steadily, but i'm happy, i just broke a 2 months stall!!

all is well and is looking good though..

Good Luck to all!! yay us!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
